Special and regular correspondence from the surrounding towns is solicited by the TRIBUNE. All writers will please send their names to this office with com munications intended for publication, in order that the editor may know from whom the correspondence comes. HIGHLAND DOTS. On Friday evening the workmen of this place met in the school house for the purpose of organizing a mutual , death benefit fund for miners, mine workers and other employes who work in or about the Highland collieries. Two propositions were placed before the meeting. The first was: That em ploye contribute one half a shift in case of accidental deatli while at work at the collieries here. The second: Thatcach employe pay one dollar in rase of death from accident while at work. The latter one was adopted and a com mitted was appointed to confer with Mr. Markle. The plan adopted does not give entire satisfaction and the merits of the two propositions are being warmly debated throughout the works. Investigation into the working of these funds at other collieries and in speaking to men who have debated this question, before it went into operation, leaves an impression that the one adopted is un just to the outside employes, as all in surance funds are regulated according to the amount of danger or risk of the insured. Many reasons are given in fa vor of both propositions, but the "former seems to have the moßt friends. At Upper Lehigh and Sandy Run a fund of this kind is in operation and seems to give general satisfaction. It is said, however, that the employes of these companies were divided on the plan to he adopted ami not until it was made a rule by the companies did they accept it. Either of the two plans is much better tnan going around with a book soliciting, and if Mr. Markle will make one of them a rule, all who are , objecting, one way or the other, will ! find it more convenient to abide by the rule than to move. James Oliver left here on Friday for Wilkes-Barre, where be has secured employment.. No. 2 slope had to suspend work on Friday owing to too much water.

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., MARCH 16, 1893. COUNCIL MEETING. A Special Session Held unil Routine Business Transacted. The borough council met on Monday evening witli all the members present. The bond of Treasurer Henry Smith was accepted. It is for SIO,OOO, and the bondsmen are H. C. Koons, Adam Sachs, Owen Fritzinger and himself. The bond of Street Commissioner Frank McGettrick for SSOO was also accepted, and his bondsmen are William Johnson and himself. The secretary was instructed to re ceive proposals up to April 6 for a jani tor, and in conjunction with the lockup committee to prepare a contract govern ing the duties of the position. The lock up committee was also empowered to have a water closet placed in the Citi zens' Hose Company's room for the use of the members of the Gre company and council. It was decided to pay the same rate of wages for work 011 the streets as last, year, viz., commissioner, $1.50 per day; iahorers, $1.25; with drivers, $4.00. A motion that none but American citizens be employed on the streets was carried unanimously. For borough surveyor Mr. Fritzinger presented the name of P. M. Boyle, of Drifton, and he was elected to the posi tion. Mr. Boyle is to appear at the next regular meeting to receive instructions regarding the surveying of the unGnish ed part of the sewer. Ex-Btreet Commissioner Boyle's bill for work done, which was laid over at the last meeting, was taken up and or dered paid, together with the amouqf claimed as extra pay for laying sewers. The secretary, however, was instructed to withhold the order until the list of sewer connections be turned over to the council. Complaint was made that the gutter along the Dever property, on Centre between Walnut and Chestnut streets, was not put down, and tlie secretary was ordered to notify Mr. Dever to have it done within the timo specified hy the borough ordinance. After instructing the street commis sioner to have the streets clear of all snow and ice for the parade tomorrow the council adjourned to meet on April 3, when the extension of the sewer question will lie discussed. Coal Price* Coming Down. The price of stove and chestnut sizes of coal was reduced at a meeting of the anthracite coal sales agents held in New York on Tuesday from $4 75 to $4.15, a drop of GO cents a ton. This move was unexpected, ns at the meeting held last month, at which the regular spring re duction usually is made, there was no change? and it was thought no reduction would be made at this time. Since the cold weather the railroad companies have been accumulating large stocks of coal at their yards until the stock is considerably larger than the de mand. The circular price was stiffly maintained, although the stock at tide water kept on increasing. As small buyers could not afford to pay an ex horhitant figure they began to look for other fuel, and rather than lose the trade the reduction was made hy the coal com panies. The advent of warm weather was also somewhat of a factor in the reduction of prices. Every year there is a lowering of prices in the spring. The one just agreed to is to take effect April 1. Last year the prices were lower than the re duction made on Tuesday. The prices in March, 1892, were: Stove, $3.90; present city price, $4.75; chestnut, $3.05; present price, $4.50, and other sizeß in the same ratio. It is also very likely that the reduc tion may effect the price for the con sumers in the coal region. In Freeland the average cost of a full ton is $3.50, a rate out of all proportion to the cost of mining ami delivering it. "Under a Ban*' Tonight. "Under a Ban," it can be said, will be staged more elaborately than any play that has yet come to the opera house. The fine special scenes painted for it by the author have received the highest praise from critics who are competent judges of such work, and these, witli the new drop curtain put up this week, will make the scenic portion of the drama alone wortli more titan the admission fee. The company has finished its rehear sals, and the persons in the cast are familiar witli their lines and have a proper conception of the characters they intend to portray. The specialties are also very good, and with the aid of Carl and Jenkins, late of Tony l'astor's New York company, the public can rest assured they will receive the wortli of their money. DePierro's complete or chestra will furnißh the musical portion of the programme. Following is the cast: James Stanley .Thomas Ashman Harry 'Smline [ Bila. Woodring James Kulston Chos. F. 1 Infancy Hob Hale James Mellon Dennis O'Brien W. C. Miller Sam White Calvin C'unnius Mrs. Stanley Miss Catharine Davis. Bridget Miss Marie Timney Lillian Miss Clara Trocll The Dull Tomorrow Evening;. The usual custom of celebrating the evening of St. Patrick's Day with a ball will be followed out this year by the St. Patrick's Beneficial Society, and the members propose to give a hearty wel come and an enjoyable evening to oil who attend. The dancing music will be furnished by Gillespie's orchestra, and a neat souvenir programme, prepared especially for the occasion, will be given to every lady at the ball. The sole objects of this society and the union with which it is connected are charity and benevolence, not only to ward its own members but to all who may be in distress or trouble, and for nineteen years these principles have been carried out and thousands of dollars have been expended in this vicinity by the society among those in need. Its record in this respect Is one that cannot be equalled by many societies, and those who attend its ball tomorrow evening will have the satisfaction of knowing that they will receive in pleas ure the full value of their money and that whatever is spent goes for a chari table purpose. THE REDUCTION ACCEPTED. Lehigh Valley Directors Assist the I'. & K. In Cheating lis Own Stockholders. The directors of the Lehigh Valley Railroad on Tuesday set at rest all doubts as to their relations with the Reading by accepting a proposition of the latter company to scale down the dividend from 7 to 5 per cent., and by urging its acceptance upon the stock holders. This action was taken at the regular monthly meeting of the board, when the matter was decided by the de c.aration of a quarterly dividend of 1$ per cent., due April 1, making the an nual rate 5 per cent. From their state ment it will be seeu that the reduction, so they say, is to last for only two years, when the dividends are to be restored to the 7 per cent, agreed upon when the deal was made. The reasons set forth by the directors for the action in assisting the Reading to buncoe Lehigh Valley stockholders are given in a statement, in which they quote several honeyed and get-rich-quick promises from a new agreement supple mentary to the lease of February, 1892. In this new agreement, which the Head ing can change as easily as the other, it is provided that after two years the 7 per cent, dividend is go into effect again, and if, during the two years, the earn ings of the Lehigh Valley exceed 10 per cent, the Reading is to pay it the sur plus earnings up to 14 per cent. Above that figure the two companies are to share the surplus equally, but it is a well-known fuct that the surplus will hardly ever touch that figure. This action of the Lehigh Valley di rectors may he accepted as final, and as nothing can be expected from a road that is a part of the Reading system it is time that the citizens and business men of Freeland are getting to work in earnest to find out wbat prospects there are to bring the Central here. The receivers of the Reading and the directors of the Lehigh Valley, by the brazen methods used in cheating the letter's stockholders, have proven them selves unworthy of any respect or con sideration, and Freeland should not be content to have its railroad facilities at the mercy of men whose words and agreements are so unreliable, (live them opposition by inducing the Cen tral to come into town. Switching Over (lie Cascades. The switchback, by means of which the Great Northern railway crosses tho Cuscade mountains in Washington, is a wonderful piece of engineering. When Jim Hill, the president of the Great Northern, decided to push his road from Bpokano to Puget sound, he hail compar atively a fair field at all points save one. At that point he was confronted by a solid mass of granite which blocked his Vino for about three miles. It was de termined to tunnel tho mountain, but as the excavation would be nearly three miles in length and take three years to complete it was decided to build a tem porary road over the mountain in order to open through connection with the coast as soon as possible. The temporary road crosses the crest of the range through Stevens pass at an elevation of 4,008 feet, and the different altitudes aro reached by a system of nine switchbacks. The road at one place returns three times to within 500 feet of its former line, only a little higher up the mountain side, but it thus covers a .distance of four miles in curves. It starts from Tunnel City on the east side of the mountain and runs to Stevens City on the west side. Both of these places are the points which the tunnel will connect when finished, and they are 2$ miles apart, yet to reach them over the switchback a distance of 15 miles must be traversed. There are five switches on tho western side of the pass and four on the eastern side, while tho heaviest grade is 211 feet to the mile. The survey was begun last July, and when completed a force of 700 men were put to work and the road rapid ly pushed forward. Tho tracks were connected Jan. 14, at which time tho first train went over tho road. Two freight trains a week are now being run over it, but it will not bo opened for passenger traffic untilApril.—San Francisco Chron icle. No More Finery Allowed. The board of trustees of tho Blooms burg state normal school bave decided that hereafter no young lady will be allowed to graduate in an elaborate and costly dress such as is often seen on graduating occasions. The board be lieves that many young ladies expend more money on dress than they can afford to, and that often thesso received from the state at graduation is used for finery. When the decision of the trustees wis announced to the students of the school it was met with round after round of applause. A Piece of Advice to Matt. Matt Long still continues to unbottle himself on tho new county issue. Just now he is aggrieved because Eckley B. Coxe is using every effort to defeat bis pet project. Air. Long forgets that the constitution gives to Mr. Coxe the same right to object that it gives Air. Long for favoring. Both sides will do all they can for or against the new county, and thev are justified in doing so.—News dealer.
